The Will of The Late T.
M. Cheek
Mr. TIomas M, Cheek who died June
7th left a will which was probated in
Graham a few days past. His estate
would probably amount to ten or fif
teen thousand dollars which is left al
most in its entirety to his daughter
Miss Lula, and his wife. Mr. Ed Cheek
is left one third interest in a house and
lot near Bingham School, his interest
to be settled after ssde. His other
children are left nominal Sums.
There is talk of a contest over the
will, which has not materalized yet.
We cannot believe that this cause is
nearer to William J. Bryan's heart
than it is to Woodrow Wilson’s heart;
but even if it were, Mr. Bryan has
power most likely to bring about war
between the United States and Ger
many.
Germany does not know Bryan as
American knows him.
It knows him only as Secretary of
State, an office corresponding to that
held by Herr von Jagow in Berlin and
Sir Edward Grey in London.
It knows him only as a Foreign Sec
retary who has been the Leader of his
party for nearly twenty years, and
who has three times been its candidate
for President.
It will be seen in his resignation a
Government, and its equivalent, a divi
ded people, which is one thing'for
which German diplomacy has been
striving in the United States since the
beginning of the war.
This is not what Mr. Bryan’s resig
nation means to the American people;
I but the serious thing to be considered
at this time is what it means to Berlin
which is to receive the President's
final word on the issues raised by the
German polcy of submarine warfare.

The uote to Germrny has not been
made public; so we do not know the
provisions that so affronted Mr. Bry
an’s principles that he could no longer
remain in the Cabinet. But this we
know: At the Cabinet meeting which
discussed the original draft of the Lu
sitania note of May 13 every eventu
ality was carefully considered. The un-
satisfectory nature of the German
reply was foreseen. The American
answer was foreseen. The possible
suspension of diplomatic relations was
foreseen. After the discussion had
ended, Mr. Bryan accepted the judg
ment ot the President as his judgment
and the verdict of the Cabinet as his
verdict.
If he could not conscientously sup
port the Administration’s policy to
German submarine warfare, the time
to have discovered it was then. The
time to have resigned was then. To
wait until he had signed his name to
the first note, to wait until the Presi
dent’s inevitable answer had been for
mulated, and then resign—this is to
subject his Government and his count
ry to an embarrassment for which
there is neither excuse nor extenuation

be and however sensative his consci-

The Civil War found both North and
South unorganized in a military way.
Up to October, 1863, when voluntary
enlistment practically ceased in the
North, 1,332,000 men went into the
ranks. The South got 650,000 volun
teers. Then the Conscription Acts
came into force and the South obtain
ed 1,100,000 men and the North a total
of 1*500,000 from the various States by
levy. The grand total was 2,898,000,
including re-enlistments, and 2,250,000
without. On both sides there were 2,-
000,000 recruits who volunteered. The
Spanish war, though but a minor cam
paign, offords another instance of how
quickly the United States could, on ne
cessity, organize military forces. If
Canada within six weeks of war could
organize and equip 33,000 men for the
front, and within seven months have
nearly 100,000 more or less ready, what
could the United States, with its im-
mense resources of men material and
money, not do in equal time? By the
